Are RIP Lep turfs fair play?
Forums › General Discussion › Are RIP Lep turfs fair play?-
In Aug 2011, myself and many of you planted turf in memory of an active member of this community who decided to make the ultimate choice.
Today, one of the turf I laid in Lep's honour was capped for it's loot.
To be very clear, I am not bemoaning the loss of a turf, nor the loss of the loot; I lose turf all the time and never complain, and have plenty of unused loot.
But I feel that capping these turfs, especially to take the loot, is no different from stealing the flowers from someone's grave. I find it offensive.
So I wanted to know what the community thinks. I haven't mentioned the mobster or where the turf was capped because I don't want this post to get misinterpreted as a public call for petty revenge. But if you'd like to make your thoughts known to the offender personally, PM me and I'll happily point you in the right direction.

Capping it keeps the spirit alive. Hope the name isn't changed though.

This can be turned right back on you. If it was supposed to be strictly a "memorial turf" then why we're you collecting protection with it? Isn't that offensive in a way? Either way, when it's all said and done, you shouldn't have put any loot on it in the first place.
-
Tell the capper why you made the turf, and ask if thay won't change the name of it.
-
If you want to make memorial turf and don't want it capped why make it a big target with loot?
-
I wasn't collecting protection with it.
-
Did the capper know it was a memorial turf ?
-
From what I've heard, loot turf is fair play, even from inactives. A memorial turf is most likely no different. Turf are less likely to be capped without loot. Only thing I can say is pm the guy and ask them not to change the name. Explain to them who lep was. They may be cool and keep it going. Then grow your mob more and cap it back.

Everything is in constant flux.

The way I look at is that the capper probably didnt mean any disrespect to the departed. Loot is fair game and you can just create a new RIP turf if he/she changes the name.

You could also ask of you could have it back. Ask him to sell some weapons so you can get it back. It's all just ingame money that comes every hour. -
To me it isn't about having the turf back, nor about the in game money. I have plenty of turf, plenty of loot to use and plenty of in game money. And it's not about growing my mob to get revenge - my time with being truly active in this game has passed, and I linger primarily for nostaligia.
It seemed to me that these memorial turfs were not created to be part of this game's currency, and should therefore not be treated as such. I am truly surprised, and somewhat disheartened, by these responses.

New players come. I never knew him just heard of him. You can't message everyone and let them know what it means.
-
If everyone could make there way to Santa Claus's message board. There is a public message that seeks to be a decent answer to this question.
-
Turf is turf. End of story. Who cares if it has a RIP on it, if you don't have the mob to protect it, then the bigger person deserves to have it
-
I hate to sound heartless, but maybe a memorial turf isn't the best way to remember someone, especially one with loot. It's like writing "RIP" on a $20 bill an placing it on the ground and then wondering why someone took it.
Once again, I'm sorry for the loss of your friend, it's a terrible way for anyone to go. I really don't want to sound heartless.

How are the new players on this game to know it was a memorial turf, you should not of had loot on it in the first place. My suggestion is to leave at 85 inf, most people will not cap those. I can tell you I would not have known and I would of capped it. I am sorry for yours and Tw' s loss.

Deja vu.

As long as it still stands, it shouldn't matter. It's only turf, make more and keep the memory going

Well said. Quit tryin to start shit over nothin, Santa. -
As soon as you put loot on it you made it fair game. The only one to blame for its loss in this case is you.
-
This happened a while ago many people don't know. Many people don't read the fourms. Just tell them what they done but u shouldn't punish them because they didn't know.
-
I dont think this rip thing is good.
Looking at this, everyone plants a turfs with rip in memory of someone and they will untouchable -

You did the exact opposite of what logic tells me to do with a turf I really want to keep.
ie, I've been known to drop them (my lep turf) to one influence when I'm feeling my turf may be vulnerable.
Imo, you brought this on yourself by putting loot on it.
-
Isn't the point that this turf is still standing and in memory of Lep? Who cares who owns it as long as the capper doesn't just cap and tear down.
